MJ Abbott secured the contract to install a new irrigation system during the construction of Ffos Las Racecourse following a tender and interview process. The irrigation design was carried out by Roger Davey of Irritech.

The scope of work included:

  • Installation of 180mm diameter mainlines pipework and fire hydrants around the perimeter of the race track
  • All pipework was installed in trenches excavated using MJ Abbott's rock wheel trencher
  • All pipework features sand backfill and surround
  • Design, fabrication and installation of bespoke pump station
  • Floating suction arrangement from reservoir.

MJ Abbott also installed the drainage system at Ffos Las. To read more about the drainage project, follow this link.
